Yet another Spitfire flies.

I am reliably infomed that Mk IX two seater MJ772 was test flown from Bremgarten today.

NH799 is not that far away apparently.

And it’s likely that MK732 will return where she belongs.

……..again.

Poor thing. 🙁

I’m sure TE311 will fly I was told on facebook by Kelly that it was it was having engine run next month on another note PS853 And AR213 will hopefully fly too.

Aren’t they already trying to flog off the Buchon?

Right you are. But if you look at the list of the other ac, the Buchon does not fit in exactly, as it is (by my definition) a post WW II version of the Bf 109.
AFAIK they purchased? want to buy an original Bf 109 E-3 currently under restoration in Britain. So it makes sense to part with the Buchon.
I had the feeling when visiting there, they want to focus solely on ac used in WW II.
So the Buchon might have been an Ersatz-Bf 109 in the first place, until an original could be found. Just my view of the things.

It seems Air Fighter Academy based at Heringsdorf (Usedom) is constantly enlarging their collection. they do have by now (only airworthy and frequently flown ac):

HA 1112 Buchon, Bücker Jungmann, NAA AT 6, Boeing Stearman, Polikarpov Po 2, Yakovlev Yak 9 UM, De Havilland D.H. 82 Tiger Moth and now Supermarine Spitfire T9 and NAA TF 51. (there would have been P 51 D BBD as well, if not crashed last year)

I would say a quite impressive collection, especially regarding the short time since starting it. Well worth visiting if in the vicinity.

Overall good collection, but poor website (at least so far, lol).
